Yeah, it sounds like a good idea, maybe it’ll be implemented as a VAT on LLMs. There’s also the thing that AI subscriptions are subsidised up to 90% currently so when the bubble pops workers become more competitive when you’re paying 2k USD per month instead of 200. Not to mention that LLMs themselves are subsidised by electrical grid upgrades and tax exemptions to attract data centers.

Pigouvian tax is not used enough IMO. LLMs are having a negative effect on the economy so the negative effect should be taxed highly and tax revenue redistributed. RIP for people in the USA where it just goes to military spending.

The theory is there and it seems to make sense biomechanically, now we need more studies on women doing this during birth and see if it results in less labour, pain and/or interventions.

Yeah, giving birth at home is one of the most dangerous activities a woman can undertake.

Yeah, it looks very vague and possible targeting videos that don’t exist, have no effect and still give Starmer a political win?

Starmer could use it but his reverse hand of midas is going to turn it to shit no matter who.

To be fair, the headline is overblown since they are banning step-incest porn where one of the individuals is pretending to be underage.

Yeah, if you’re writing up papers LaTeX is excellent. I’ve done some LaTeX myself but I’m very happy not having to write any papers today.

Yeah, the middle length 10-20m looks like it’s dead. People are moving into podcast or 40m rant videos which are a lot better per hour. I’m going to give a shoutout to Tom Nicholas and NileRed which make excellent +1h content.

Wow, that’s one of the worst takes on math education I’ve ever heard.

First person I’ve heard from that loves LaTeX

KDE.

It’s the only one I have used more than 10 years and loved the entire time. Everything else has been replaced, not loved or not used for 10 years.

Since there’s no lack of solutions here I’m going to add one more. If you manage to create bash to update the containers then you can have it run with a systemd service that’s easy to set up. It’s very easy to set up and it’ll work the same as running the command no your computer.

I mean, Aussies are punching above their weight with emissions still while they have made incredible progress on the energy transition and generally have good policies.

One notable thing Australia needs to work on is coal use which is high, in the coming years this will start to drop off massively since Australia is still the lucky country when considering the next generation of energy production.

The graph is good, and soon you’ll be able to see Australia drop down the list of countries in a very satisfying way.

It’s a matter of taste. The runback is as exercise in speedrunning which allows you to sharpen the core skills until you can pass everything fast without losing HP. At the point where you pass everything with full HP it’s not a slog anymore, just going through the motions.

Wikipedia covers it nicely:

Since the first version of the standard was completed in May 2003 (22 years ago) and the most commonly used profile (the High profile) was completed in June 2004[citation needed] (21 years ago), some of the relevant patents are expired by now,[75] while others are still in force in jurisdictions around the world and one of the US patents in the MPEG LA H.264 pool (granted in 2016) lasts at least until November 2030.

Not putting the egg in cold water after boiling it and then blaming the egg really smells like a skill issue.

We don’t know, but Windows market share went from around 96% to 92% which is definitely a reliable stat. It could be because they have missing entries for Nobara, Bazzite, Fedora and Zorin which are all popular with people migrating from Windows. Worth mentioning that Flatpak will be under Ubuntu Core.

Non-Windows systems fucking doubled. I’m going to have to say it: THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP

I was vegetarian diet for a year and ended up anemic. Found out when donating blood so they prescribed me iron pills and told me to come back in a couple of months.

You could get this info from a blood test. Could be worth a trip if you haven’t been there in a while.

Not really. The PR has a description which Microsoft puts a one liner ad for something on the bottom of it. It does it when you use copilot to submit the PR so instead of the AI doing just what it’s told it adds an ad.

I mean it’s not major, easy to ignore but it feels a bit egregious because instead of it just being an ad on the page like “look at this feature which you have to upgrade to get” it’s actually injecting it into the content part.
